Thoreau was right, and it's a sad truth. We all do indeed "lead lives of quiet desperation." And we never really know what a fellow human being is really going through.
Love how this excerpt shows how your external facade totally masks the mess underneath (although, it should still be very obvious to everyone in that "not it" circle).
I think this is a good snapshot of the human condition.
Hey Scott! Thanks! Yes, it should have been very obvious, and I do wonder what other people in my life actually thought during that time. Especially my coaches.

Thank you for the reminder.
Leading lives of quiet desperation…that hits!
It’s so true, we never really know what someone else is going through. I think of this often.

Your shining moment. 👌

Great piece, just so real. I can't wait for you book to come out!
Ah, Sandy! Thank you so much. It's getting close!
Gotta love how our brains rationalize things 🙄
Because I can justify anything; my friends have a saying, where I can “Bradify” anything 😬
And, completely random: Patton Oswalt (a favorite comedian of mine) does a bit where he mentions “Bleeker Street”. 1:51 mark 😁
